Browser Desktop vs Mobile...

Post by campsoftware » Sun May 13, 2012 6:50 pm

Is there a super class for controlling a web browser in LiveCode? I feel like I'm missing something having to code revBrowserOpen and iphoneControlCreate separately for Mac/Windows and iOS/Android...

If you have the time it would be a worthwhile custom control to create. I just created a custom control to handle the fact that Android doesn't have a native scroller. Once you've created the control you can then use it in all your projects and ignore the platform your working in.

That should come in handy for a little while. :)

Hmm... Do you know something I don't. Maybe I should recheck the release notes...

Even when android does have a scroller unless auto creation of a scroll view is built into the data grid the control will remain useful. I'd just mod it to use the native scroller.
